There are too many reasons why screens can kill you. In fact, it's actually unhealthy for kids under the age of two to set their eyes on screens at all! Doctors say it's bad for you  to be on anything digital for more than an hour! To prove my point, let me tell you my top 5 reasons why it's treacherous. 1. Your brains will slowly evaporate out of you skull. Why? When you are staring at a TV, you aren't learning. You are also forgetting everything everything you have learned by doing nothing, in fact, you aren't even thinking! 2. You become fat and lazy. Sitting on a sofa doing nothing, and eating food while you stare at your precious Mario Brothers will get you no exercise. There is a reason why the pioneers were so skinny. They actually moved their bodies. 3. You should be exploring the great outdoors. I'm telling you, it's more interesting than you think. Adam's whole job was naming animals. That was such a huge job, because there are so many i...

I love these, but it makes me realize that any country that is painting food on their nails must be pretty rich. They are pretty cute though, and I have attempted at the watermelon ones on a simpler scale!

Someone in our church was expecting a baby, so B wrote a poem about babies. She showed it to the pregnant mom, who said she wanted a copy of it to hang on her little girl's wall. B told me, and then I got the idea to make a baby book! First we typed out the poem, and then I thought that it definitely needed some pictures. We found cute cartoons that had to do with each little phrase. I found a blank baby book online so we could just glue the poems right on to a book. You can't really tell that they were glued on because the book and the paper are white. We ended the poem with the cutest little saying. "Babies love/Like a dove, /Babies nap/ On mama's lap! Our final touch was to sign our names and hand it of to the Mom! We actually haven't given it to her yet, but I'm sure she will love it!

One of my Christmas projects was to knit washcloths. I bought the softest yarn next to cashmere and then found my mom's biggest knitting needles. As I knitted away, I thought that the gray might need some pop and personality. As you can see, a border of brightly colored yarn can really make a difference! Everybody LOVED them and said they were so totally soft! It is so great to put on your face first thing in the morning instead of some random rag you find on the sink!

I watched a few youtube videos after my mom suggested I do this style and at first I was thinking that we would be sitting doing twists for like 5 hours! So, I started the tedious twists. Thankfully we were watching a movies so we weren't like totally bored. Then, B wanted to help too so I was just like sure!  It actually only took 2 1/2 hours thanks to the help of B and it came out really good! Z insists that she wants it in a "messy bun"

So, these are all hairstyles that I have done since I was 10. That was the age when I decided I wanted to be a hair stylist. I started right away! Ok, I have to admit, I was still learning: You can't really see this style, but I was learning how to do my own hair. Cute little curly pigtails! I just swept my hair into a beautiful bun that day! How about Pippi Longstocking for Halloween? You have to ignore the warrior in the front and look at the horrified girl in the back. T-Bone was a little skeptical about Z's hair that day I guess. It was one of those Why-are-you-taking-a-picture-of-me-in-this-blinding-sun moments I didn't do this style but one like it.  I did cornrows on my own head this time.  My friend actually did this on me recently but I just had to stick it in here because it was the only time in my life that my hair actually stood curled for an hour! My hair naturally after it's brushed...  Um, yea...
